[NEWS]

Who is this man? Where did he come from? Nobody knows, but we do know that his impression of President Washington... the second one... is impeccable. We tried to get an interview with him, but it's too hard to get a hold of him.

In the next segment, our defence correspondent is here to discuss the latest move of President MacArthur for military intervention in Libya.

Correspondent: We are still not out of our previous commitments. Entering another warzone will squeeze our budget tight. I don't know if we can keep supporting baby bonds, health services and other welfare schemes."

News Anchor: So you are against the war?"

Correspondent: I am against putting American lives at risk for something that's only going to make a few rich folks richer. Our administration has failed the nation. That's the reality. You know, that President Washington costume guy, I wish he was the real deal.

Hector watched various channels to see what the situation of the media was. It was not very good, except for a few channels. All were corrupted and bought out. The American people were being fed garbage. This was the result of a market that's a bit too free.

"It seems I will have to launch a crusade or something." He muttered while on his way to Shield headquarters.

Soon, the car ride came to a halt in front of a skyscraper in the middle of the river. Hector got out and looked around. He could feel that multiple eyes were on him. The whole area was most likely under the influence of the SHIELD.

"Sir."

"Natasha? Haha, I knew you'd be here." He found his adopted daughter waiting for him at the entrance, wearing a professional suit that didn't suit her.

"Hmm, I never took you as office lady kind," he patted her head.

"Grandpa, I'm afraid the higher-ups have denied you from entering the premise," she said, looking strained. If she could, she'd have let him destroy the whole building.

But Hector laughed, "Haha, of course, they would. But they have no authority. I created SHIELD, and I wrote the law concerning the chain of command in SHIELD. Surprise, surprise, I have the highest authority even now, and unless they change the law, they can't do anything. Let's go in," New novel chapters are published on

"What? B-But..."

He went straight past the door and stopped at the entry scanner device. Instead of scanning his palm, Hector tapped the buttons on it and turned the lights green, "Bwahaha... master code, kids."

Shocking every agent in the vicinity, he ignored them all and entered the lift. "Which floor is your Director's office, Natasha?"

Taking a sigh, she tapped on the panel, "I don't even care about getting into trouble anymore,"

Hector looked back. The lift had a glass wall from which you could look outside. He chuckled inside, ~Is this the lift where Steve beat those guys?~

*DING*

"This way, grandpa,"

"Logan, watch my back and heighten your senses. If you feel anyone is listening to us, kill them. Kennedy, stay by my side, your ass may be superhuman, but it's still an ass that can be split apart with a good blade."

"By the way, who is your director?" He asked.

"It's Colonel Nick Fury, ex-Army, ex-Special Force. He's a big fan of you, to be honest."

"And you trust him?" He asked what matters the most. After all, 19 years was enough time for someone to go corrupt.

"Professor Moony, I brought the whole school," Jean soon arrived with the School for Gifted Children staff. Charles, Erik and Raven had gotten older, but visibly they appeared late middle-aged. Raven was the same, though.

One after another, each appearing person would put their gifts near Moony, soon creating a mountain of them.

"Okay, let's cut the cake,"

Hector placed a sword's hilt on Moony's jaws. "One... two... three... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

The good boy slashed the cake like a master ninja and cut out a small slice. He used his big chubby paw to pick up the piece and looked at Hector. ~Dad.~

Hector took a small bite from Moony's paw. After all, the first bite goes to the one you love the most. But then Moony turned to Diana and called her. She took a bite from the same slice and kissed the boy on the forehead.

"AWOOOOO!" he howled at the sky. ~BEST DAY EVER?~

After being done with his parents, he called Jean, Yelena, Natasha and Peter individually. He was going to feed it to everyone, including all the animal friends there.

*BEEP BEEP*

Hector's phone rang just then. He read the message. The content made him grin dangerously, "Haha, take that, dumbasses."

...

US Senate.

"Yea,"

"Nay,"

"Nay,"

.

A roll call vote was taking place under the guidance of Dick Cheney as the Vice President. The content of this vote was particularly important as they sought to change the laws regarding national security, mainly SHIELD.

The President and the rest of the people in control had found out that Hector had created loopholes years ago to give himself the highest authority in SHIELD. They could not openly come out and do something as that would prove Hector is real.

But slowly, as the votes were being cast, it became clear that Hector's reach had not diminished. It had just gone silent due to not having a full majority. But now, when he was back, all the sleeper cell representatives and Senators were activated. They belonged to both parties, and this sent a chill down the spines of all who knew what was going on.

It became clear that Hector could stop any law from passing if he wanted to. The House of Cards was ready to fall apart at Hector's light touch. For a master of Galactic politics, what was a small planet?

The game had only begun, and Hector won't let any sinner run. Not from justice, and absolutely not from his Fist of Freedom.
